I have 2. 1 Read something inspirational every morning. I downloaded a bible app to my phone. 2. Up my game in weight lifting. I may not be a bodybuilder, but I want to increase my weights and build up more muscle. Maybe the cellulite will be less noticeable.
Pay off debt. Beef up emergency fund. Travel more.
My word of the year is Fun! Help! I have gotten to be one of those uber responsible people because of the kids, and I am not sure what is even fun for me anymore. 😀

1) Pay off debt, 2) dial back news intake.
The first is self explanatory. As far as limiting news, I think last year I wasted a lot of time and energy obsessively reading news stories as they arose. Today I turned off the notifier on my phone, and I intend to limit news consumption to my once a day.

Other than lose weight, which I don't know if I even want to call that a resolution anymore since it's just an ongoing thing, I don't really have any.
This year is going to be a big deal with me doing something else for work so I'm really just wanting to enjoy this year and find the best version of myself.

1. Start saving again. We moved cities the past year and although all relocation costs were supposedly covered by my job, we still spent a lot of money on random stuff and hardly put anything into savings.
2. Continue exercising and work on better mental health.

1. Pay off debt (DH's truck, the furniture we bought last summer, and all or most of our travel trailer), save more. 2. Start exercising regularly, which will hopefully lead to some weight loss. 3. Continue to declutter.
1. Get a handle on how my job affects my mental health. 2. Get serious about networking and taking control of my career path. 3. Get off electronics when I’m with my kids. 4. Start a blog with my BFF and her sister. We have very different perspectives (working mom, former working mom who had to quit to homeschool her special needs kid, and SAHM who has never worked), but many of our issues are the same. I think it would be fun to do things like recipes from a “you have plenty of time so do it this way vs you are in a rush so here are 3 shortcuts” perspective. We’ve been talking about it. Now we just need to do it.

Would read. But if there are 3 of you and you're any kind of funny, this sounds more like a podcast. Maybe a podcast should be your reach goal
1. Get my health back on track now that I know what's wrong with me. A slew of new diagnoses right before Thanksgiving has really rocked me and I haven't had much time to let it sink in and figure out a solid plan for moving forward, aside from cutting gluten. 2. Fix up the house. I don't know if we'll be ready to move this year, but we will be able to actually fix up the things that need it on our current house and get it closer to selling condition. Money has been so tight, we've let a lot of things slip. 3. Build up our savings account. I plan to set up auto transfers to do that 52 week savings challenge. That will basically fund Christmas for 2018. And when I get a raise in January I plan to devote the increase entirely to savings automatically so that we can build up a cushion again.

Please do this! It's exactly the kind of blog I need!
1. Take better care of myself. I know self-care is such a cliche, but I’ve realized how I always put stuff for me on the back burner to take care of or cover for other people. I don’t have a specific weight loss goal, but I do want to stop eating like crap (all the candy dishes at work) and find 10-15 minutes a day to do some toning and strength exercises. I’m also not getting any younger and need to do my kegels and step up my (non-existent) skincare routine. Also, just trying to be generally more out together. My new job is more formal and I think a more polished look would go far.
2. Generally be more active in my community/network. Be more social. Go to church more. Get involve in some volunteering.
